Three Stories.

The Rev. Reefer Remington. who paces up and down the City Hall port. co when he is not talking, was yester- day inclined to storytelling. He said salvation and water had done great deal for him.
 ''I preached for S100 year, and one year. in Mississippi, l got $40. II took six years to pay my college debts. I was thirty before I held on to any money. Now I have nine savings bank books. Sombody once told mo that that could easily be. l cou'd put dollar in each of nine banks. took S200 down to my savings banks in Wall street. but they handed it back. The teller said they didn't want any more of my money as they had S4, 900 of it now. Then I took it over to the Williamsburg bank. There are nine. in each of which have S4.000. 1 also have q mortgage of Sl, 800, and own a good house in Brooklyn. l have given S50,000 to the poor of New York, and have S40,000 left. And it's all from salvation and cold water. Some of you think this out. door preaching don't do any good. But I preached great many years ago in Coenties Slip. and young man was converted there. He became a minister. William Niblo gave a great dinner to ministers, and this young man was invited. The wine was passed around. All the preachers r.. hr refused. The next morning Mir. Niblo sent for the young man. and asked him to go to Europe with him. He took him there three times. When he died the first person named in his will was that young minister, the Rev. John 5. Parker. He left him Sl0,0J0.
 '.I was travelling in stage coach when studying for the ministry with . learned man. He said he could prove the Bible lied.
 Well, do il, said l.
 'Humbold ascended Chimporazo. said the inidel. He found tha; human life could not be sustained there and that at five miles up men would freeze to death
 '.But how does that prove that the Bible lies?' asked I.
 ...Well. the Bible says Elijah went to Heaven alive. Why, he would have frozen to death five miles up.
 ...Aha, my friend. said I; you haven't read all the B ble.- If you hac done so you would have learned that God took Elijah up in chariot of fire. Now, how could he freeze to death when he had a chariot of fire to keeE him warm?'

CHAPTER LII.
"You ARE MARGUERITE STAIR"

The next moment there came before his eyes the marble tablet raised to her memory in Clifie Church. "Sacred to the memory of Marguerite Lady Stair" Yet here-if there was truth in the monday sun-here was the face of his wife, the face that he believed had been long buried from the sight of men.
 He was so completely bewildered, so utterly dazed, that he could hardly form a thought. Would the vision pass Y-would the beautiful face and figure, the soft eyes and tender mouth disappear? They could not be real; whatever semblance the woman might have, she was not, could not be. Mar guerite Stair, for she had been dead end buried mere than seventeen years.

 The voice in which he spoke had the very ring oftruth in 1t.
 "Do you believe it?" he repeated.
 "I must, since you say so," she re- piled.
 "To think that anything so mon- strous should be said !" he eried-"that you should believe anything so mon. strous as that [, who loved and hon. ored you above all women, should ever dream of the Divorce Courtl Oh, Mar guerite. how coldly and cruelty you misjudged me What reason did you think had?

 "It was that" and she added, in . low voice, "I think l was mad"

 And in that moment, with those ac- cu~ins words ringing in her ears, she ct that she had been cruel to him.

My house has been like a grave to me ever since. l read the letter you left for me-sse, it is her, now.

 "Once more she sees the letter, writ ten in such fatal haste that December evening. He holds it before her, and the sunlight falls on il. Once more she read the words that cut her adrift from him.
 "I own that should have waited to see you" she said; but believed Lady Perth, and 1 was mad with my own misery. l had but one tbought,s and it was to escape before l fell into your power"

 He listened in silence, and when she had ended, he said to her:

A sudden spasm of tenderness surged
through her heart, filling her eyes with
tears.

so much for me-" she murmured. II do

softly up behind his chair and drop one lit
tie kiss on his hand and then can be gone
before he can rise and turn
lmpelled by fate, or whatever ii is that
so often steps in and directs the helm of
| our destinies. May approached quietly, and
sinking partly on one knee, pressed a soft
caiess on the hand that hung over the side
| of the chair Allan started, but, neverthe-
less, she could have made her escape had
not her foot caught in treacherous fold of
her dress; so that as he looked half bewil-
dered around, very rosy and embarrassed
little culprit was kneeling by his chair, un-
able for the moment to regain her feet.
For single instant he regarded her In
silence, then his arm went swiftly round
her, drawing her closely to HIM, and his
eyes, full of joyous delight, were fixed upon
her lovely flushed face.
"rhere, that is the second timer' he ex-
claimed, in tone of tender eXultation.
AREN'T you ashamed to be waylaying all
innocent young fellow like me in this man

deep, fervent feeling, he added, "Miss

One look of quick, glad surprise and he was
at their side.
What passed further need not be report

rose to return to the house to make prepar-
ations for his own return home, May was
leaning on his arm with the most engaging

serenely satisfied manner, and voting that
